Besides, the purpose of this article isnt to prove that Mary did not sin, but merely to refute arguments that she did.
The Catholic church claims it wrote the Bible. then it's not unreasonable to expect there to be Scriptural support for the belief that Mary was sinless and always virgin.
Where is it?
Is there something about *all have sinned* that is too hard for Catholics to understand?
Romans 3:21-31 21But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it 22the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show Gods righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. 29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since God is onewho will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

It does. “Hail Mary, ‘Ketocharitoomene’.” Funny thing is, Protestant lexicons nearly universally lie and cut that down to merely, “charitoo.” “Ketocharitoomene” means “having been filled (completely) with grace.” Not something one would say to one who is still living under sentence of condemnation to Hell.

Go back to the original article and read Charles Spurgeon’s commentary on the use of the word translated as “all.”
>> *original sin*. Another Catholic construct. <<
Well, yes, ALL true Christian doctrine is Catholic. But in this case, it is a constrict shared by Calvinist, Lutheran AND Anglican protestant traditions.
